..Impacted wisdom tooth

Went for a check-up on Monday at Pristine Dental in Mid Valley and the dentist advised me to get it extracted to minimise the risk of infection in that area. It's not a normal extraction where a dentist could perform, apparently, the x-ray showed that my wisdom tooth is underneath the gum embedded in my jawbone and a surgery is needed to extract the tooth. When i heard "surgery" damn!!! that sounds painful..One of the roots of my wisdom tooth curves in and it anchors the tooth in the bone, meaning the surgeon has to be more aggressive.. Am seeking a second opinion soon before proceeding with the surgery.

Here are some facts..Please read!! Keeping your wisdom is a big No No:-

• Crowd your teeth. Note: wear your retainer after braces, your teeth may still crowd.
• Even though your jaw is big enough to allow the wisdom tooth to grow, problems will occur when you're older. Because around the wisdom tooth, it's difficult to clean and will lead to cavities.
  
• By keeping the wisdom tooth, a gum pocket is created and it will trap food. Due to this, cavities will be developed and it often leads to root canal. so... eventually you'll have to extract your tooth.
